Chapter 3
Peter arrived at his house at 11:00 am, and invited as many muggles that he could remember, and some people he knew were weird in an unaverage way. That very night, Peter threw a monsterous party that shook the city of Redding, nearly twenty miles away. Lestat performed for them, as Peter had invited many of his friends who liked to preform music. Peter brought a cinder block from outside and stood on it, saying, "Hello everyone! Thank you all for coming. As you all have probably guessed, I am throwing my reappearance to Shasta Lake City."
"Where have you been?", Bryan asked, setting down his drink. "Do you really want to know?", Peter asked, a question easily answered by the crowd who all shouted, "Yes!" "Alright, then, Akasha, Brad, Kyra, Francesca, Michael, if you would please. Now after we show you, do not run in terror, we will not harm you.", Peter said, giving Akasha a firm stare, implying it to her especially, who sighed and nodded, smiling. Peter began to transform and the rest of the Lamnia followed suit, their skin crawling, turning a deep blue. Their eyes glowed a bright yellow as they became more muscular and their nails and teeth grew several inches.
"Peter! You're a monster!", Felicia screamed, staring madly at the abnormal creatures before her. "No more than yourself.", he replied coldly, "You humans are ferocious, striving to better yourselves by any means possible, even if it hurts another human or anything you consider inferior to you."
"Lets get back to the party, shall we?", Brad said smartly, trying to break the stressful silence. They did, and Peter went to a table and got a drink. "That went well.", he said, taking a sip of Root Beer. "Thats exactly what you said after you told Nick to give me that note?", Francesca cried, turning her gaze towards him in a heartbeat. "Are you ever going to let me live that memory down?", he asked, sighing deeply and feeling slightly annoyed. "No! You hurt me too much!", she said, turning her full attention towards him. "You hurt me too. I had tears streaming from my eyes from just remembering that event.", he retorted, looking at her as if she were mad. "You hurt me the most, Peter!", Francesca yelled back.
You dont know the meaning of hurt! How many nights have you cried over me? How many times have you felt worthless without me? How many days have you screamed from the pain I caused you? That your very soul was being forced from every fiber in your being if you dwell on the memory? If you wish to haunt me and torture me with such a memory, then consider yourself succeeded! There has not been one moment where I do not regret what I did! I used to love you, but you've made me see that such a meaningless emotion was wasted on filth such as yourself.", Peter said, storming off.
After an hour of cooling down slightly, he looked over at Francesca and was angered by what he saw. A mortal was hitting on her and she flashed Peter a look of taunt and kissed the mortal man. He rushed outside and flew all the way to a deserted Hawaiian island, and when he arrived, he let out a bellow that caused the trees to fly from their roots. Not ten minutes afterward, Death Eaters surrounded him by apparating around him. One of them flew and landed roughly. "Peter Bainner, Lord Voldemort has requested that you join him.", the flying Death Eater said. The voice was all to recognizable.
"Akasha?", Peter asked. "Yes Peter. I am Akasha." "I will never join Voldemort! And how could you join him? He murdered Cedric!", Peter growled, scowling at Akasha. "Actually, Pettigrew killed Cedric, and frankly, I dont care who he kills or has killed.", she said, looking at him with a bored stare. Akasha then pointed her finger at him, "As your mother, I demand you join him!" "Never!", he yelled.
Death Eaters sent spells everywhere, mainly stunners. Peter jumped over Akasha as a stunner came flying towards him, and it hit her instead, and she collapsed. Peter transformed and grabbed hold of the neck of a Death Eater and slashed open the mortal's chest. The man did not die but slumped to the ground unable to fight any longer. He lept at another Death Eater and punctured the wizard's chest with his clawed hand and ripped out his heart, and bit into it, draining it. The shortest death eater shot a killing curse at Peter and Peter chucked the bloodless heart at the spell. The heart exploded and the death eater turned to run, but Peter tore off the flesh of the warlock's back, freeing all of the organs inside the body with a bloody splat. The final follower of Voldemort also ran but Peter lept on top of him, and brought his fist down on the man's face, cracking the mask. Peter repeated this until he felt the skull smash and the man's breathing cease. Peter turned back to human form and flew towards the headquarters.
After Peter was out of sight, the man with a sliced chest spoke, "Ennervate." and Akasha awoke, chasing after Peter, leaving the Death Eater to die.
When Peter arrived, he found dead muggles littering the floor, with the exception of two, who were too near death to save. Francesca, Brad, and Kyra were bound to the wall by an enchantment. The man who Francesca had kissed was a Death Eater. "Peter!", Francesca yelped, her arms and legs eagle spread. The man turned around quickly and flicked his wand and a jet of green light shot from the end of it. Peter dodged the attack with ease. "Crucio!", Peter shouted, aiming his hand at the Death Eater. The appendages of the man bent the opposite direction of which they were supposed to, and the man screamed in agony, toppling over.
"What are you?", the man asked, after Peter had let go. "You wont remember where you're going. You dont deserve to die by my hand. I'm turning you over to the Dementors.", Peter replied, taking a step closer to him. The man whimpered. "I dont think so, Peter.", Akasha said, lunging at him in her absolute form. Peter was thrown off guard and tackled into a wall, putting a massive crack in the solid barrier. While pinning him down, she gouged out his eyes with her thumbnails, blinding him. He threw her off and tried to use his ears to locate Akasha, but she was too silent and attacked him twice, slicing open his cheeks. The third time she struck, a voice in Peter's mind told him to duck, and he obeyed, causing Akasha to stagger for a moment. Peter took the opportunity and plunged his hand through Akasha's chest, exploding out the back of her. "This is no time to be feeling me up!", she joked and grabbed Peter's throat, squeezing hard enough to make him pass out. Even unconscious, Peter felt a part of him die inside.
When Peter awoke, he was lying naked underneath a pile of burnt rubble. Amy, Kotori, and Michael were standing over him. "What happened?", Peter asked, getting up. "The headquarters has been burned to the ground, the humans were killed, Brad, Kyra, and Francesca were incinerated, and Akasha has turned against us.", Kotori summarized, looking at Peter's face and seeming determined not to look any lower than that, "Not to mention, you've been blinded." Amy had looked away and Michael did not seem to care that he was in the presence of a naked male. "We need to report to Dumbledore.", Peter said. "First we should get you into some clothes, streak.", Amy said, using the same tactic Kotori was using against this nudity. Peter conjured some clothes and put them on. He ripped a part of his sleeve off and used it as a blindfold.
"Akasha has turned? Not unexpected.", Dumbledore said when he heard the news, "I was actually counting the days until she joined him. She took much longer than I anticipated. All we can do know is await Voldemort's next move. We must now hurry, or we will miss the feast. You arrived just in time for the school year to start."
"Peter, this is a school?", Kotori asked. "Yes Kotori, this is Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.", Peter answered, turning his head towards her voice. "Professor, who did you appoint for Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?", he asked, turning back to Dumbledore. "Professor Dolores Umbridge.", he replied simply, standing up and moving to the door, ushering them out so that they may go to the feast. "Not unbearable Umbridge!", Peter complained, making a face, "Professor, couldn't you have found someone a little less... dictating?" "I'm sorry Peter but no one applied for the job. They all seem to think it's cursed. Dont worry, you may skip the feast. Since your supplies were burned in the fire, I will purchase them for you. They will arrived in a few days time. The password is Dragontongue.", Dumbledore replied. "Thank you Professor.", Peter said, heading towards the common room, using the sound of his steps to guide him.
"Peter, do you think Akasha will return to the school?", Kotori asked, walking with him. "Not likely, Kotori, and if she did, I'd kick her in the keester.", he replied. "You're going to kill her arent you?", she asked him, looking at him with knowing eyes.
"That is the initial plan, yes."
"But if you kill her, then wont you die also?"
"Possibly, but it must be done."
Peter reached the painting and spoke the password. The doorway swung open and he entered. Kotori went into the girl's dormitory. Peter collapsed on the couch and awaited the rest of Ravenclaw to arrive, falling asleep eventually.
